My heater does not and there is no wet spot on the floor board. I just changed the thermastat. Do you have an idea if what it could be?

I'm guessing you have no heat! since you just replaced the t stat
first make sure there is no air lock in the cooling system
i don't know what engine you have but there are air bleed screws
if there is no air then grab the heater hoses make sure both are HOT
if not then you have a flow problem back flushing the heater core may work have you added any kind of STOP LEAK to the cooling system that will plug up a heater core
if both heater hoses are hot and you have good engine temperture
then check the temperture motor on the right side of the heater box
remove glove box and hush pannel
as you move the temp. from hot to cold watch and see if the temp. motor is moving
hope this helps let me know but next time more info would help

Sometimes these are a real pain to bleed. double check your cooling resevoir and top off as neccessary. once you have done that, rev the engine to about 2000rpm's while the heater is on. this will help bleed the system also and you should feel heat rather quickly. the running temp on these engines is around 220 degrees farenheit. happy holidays

If the blower is working then the valve which allows the hot water (coolant) into the heater coil is not working. Find the valve under the hood on or near the firewall. It will have 3/4 inch heater hoses connected to it. Manually open the valve and check to see if you have heat. If so your heater valve cable needs replacing. I goes from the temerature lever on the dash to the valve under the hood.

Hi I have a 2005 chevy uplander ls had heater core flushed ever since its a nightmare it ran good for a week lots of heat . Them bam it over heats just on gage no steam bleed air then good again changed...

more than likely there is a leak in heater coil. check your front passenger floor board to see if it is wet. if so the coil will need to be replaced. also take the two heater hoses off of the back firewall under windshield and run water thru the two pipes and try to flush it out.

I have a 2000 s 10 blazer heater doesnt work..but all fues are good and tried replacing swith in cab..no effect..but blower works just fine? Any ideas

Sound like a heater core, the heater core would be under your dash..Another sign of the heater core being gone, is you would notice the floor board being wet..It is possible that maybe at some point the floor board was wet and you didn't know here it came from and didn't give it another thought..But if the blower works..I would bet heater core...Or it could be a thermostate..check the thermostate first it would be the easiest.. and the cheapest..

Toyota 2006 Corolla wet floor mat passenger side

It sounds like your heater core is done. That is in a tight spot in behind the glove box. Get a new one for around $60.00.

2007 Pontiac Torrent floor board is soaking wet. A pressure test was done on it and they couldn't find anything wrong. Any suggestions??

passenger side floor? There is a small tube that directs the condensation from the AC to the ground.If this tube has gotten plugged or moved the water would end up on the floor. Should be able to see this tube sticking out of the bottom of the heater /ac module.

Wate on the front floor boards

Check that the heater core is not leaking. It is under the dash. When you look inside the hood against the firewall, there are two hoses going into the cab. Thats where the heater core is located. It could be leaking into the cab inder the dashboard.

Water on Drivers side Saturn SC2

Is it antifreeeze from heater core or heater core hose leak?  Is the leak pure water, or maybe something else?
Put it in the garage again overnight with an old white towel in the drivers foot well, best if you can find a way to stretch it from drivers seat forwar to firewall and keep it off of floor mat.  Check it before you go to bed,  then in the morning if no leak found yet.  see if the color/location of the spot helps you identify the source.  I think the heater core is under the dash center.  Anti freeze is green/yellow or orange.
good luck
